Euros Coverage - BBC v ITV

You can’t beat Lineker for me when it comes to a main presenter though, and the production value of BBC is the very best especially when it comes to England. The chemistry between Lineker, Shearer and Richards is a bonus as well.

ITV have arguably the better pundits with Keane, Neville, Wright and Souness. McCoist on comms is great as well as is Laura Woods as a presenter, along with the main guy who’s name I can’t remember. Their persistence with Aluko is questionable though, without sounding too Barton, she is a rubbish pundit. Lee Dixon is a tough listen as well.
 
Ferdinand and Fabregas are both very astute pundits - and Lineker is an acknowledged national treasure. Not sure I love Shearer as co-commentator. Micah Richards is improving but still not my favourite by a long way. Don't understand how he gets top billing at all.

I thought wrighty was retiring (!) didn’t know he was defecting to itv for obviously triple his wages….
He got all emotional leaving the BBC….hmmm….tears of joy for the money heading his way.
I’d have more respect for him if he had just said, I’m going over to the other side….

I like both bbc and itv coverage, lineker is the best presenter by a mile and Keane and wrighty the best pundits.
Neville is ok but I think he is a friend of Southgate and doesn’t critique him in the way he should

Wright has been on ITV for international football for years. It’s not something new.

I have always been a BBC man and the go-to broadcaster for these big sporting occasions but I have to say, and in my humble opinion, ITV have the best match commentary, analysers and pundits. I can't believe BBC think Shearer would be a good commentator, he was murder to listen to last night, and Guy Mowbray isn't top shelf neither.
Sam Matterface, Gary Neville, Roy Keen Joleon Lescott, are streets ahead for me.

Agree with you on Guy Mowbray. Really really poor
 
Alan Shearer
Clive Tydesley
The American referee
The woman on 5Live
Sam Matterface
Ian Wright
Lee Dixon
Guy Mowbray
Eni Aluko

If we keep going with this hate-list I’m sure we can cover pretty much every commentator and pundit before the tournament is over. It’s only day 4. 🤣

Who hates Ian Wright, other than people who hate women's football and want it to crash and burn?

I have disliked him long long before he championed womens football the guy is a complete attention seeker on tv with no insight or intelligence. Hence stunts like wearing lederhosen if we make the final thats all about him and his ego. Absolute bellend

Decent commentator, better than Matterface.
Steve Bower and Mark Scott on BBC are good, but i don't know if they are involved. The rugby twerp from R5 is.
